Public benefits

The public benefits flowing from the purposes of Slieve Gallion Community Pre-school are that children before the age for statutory education have a local facility where they can come together to play, to learn, to be motivated, to mix with other children from the same district and learn the social skills that will be required when they go to

school. The parents of these children will also benefit in that they have an excellent local facility where their children will be looked after by experienced staff where they will be in a safe and healthy environment close to their own homes therefore doing away with the need for transport in a very rural area near Desertmartin. The Community also benefits in that young parents are encouraged to remain and to live locally because there is such a facility close to them. The benefits can be measured by the number of children attending the facility, the number of parents supporting the facility and the number of local people participating in the events laid on for the pre-school by the Company. It also can be measured by the attitudes and levels of satisfaction expressed by the parents and the children themselves to the activities promoted by the playschool. There is no private benefit flowing from the purposes other than the wages paid to staff which are necessary for the work of the organisation and there is no harm flowing from these purposes.

What your organisation does

The organisation manages the day to day running of the activities of Slieve Gallion Community Pre-school. It works closely with the playgroup leaders, the parents, the children, the Department of Health Services and the Early Years specialists to ensure that children are not only looked after but also encouraged to enjoy play, education and

exploration. The Management Committee encouraged the playgroup leaders to stimulate the children with a variety of trips and outings but also to ensure that the staff are highly motivated, highly qualified so that parents can feel easy about leaving children in their care. The Directors also act as fundraisers by seeking for grants or organising local activities supported by the community to ensure that the pre-school can continue to survive into the future.
